PD DAY PROGRAMMING

We offer optional full day care during scheduled PD days. Only those children currently enrolled in MAX Families After School Program are eligible to access this supplemental programming. 

When we are notified of a school PD day we will post the time slot in the booking calendar and open it for registration. If you do not see your schools PD day date in the booking calendar, contact us at regsitration@maxfamilies.ca

 

PD DAY DETAILS

• Full day programming will be dependent upon enrollment. If enrollment is low we will contact you 48 hours in advance. 
• Transportation is not provided during PD Days. You will need to drop your child off to us.
• On scheduled school closure days After School Program clients have the following options:
  • Register your child for the closure day by the deadline, drop them off to the closure site assigned to their school, and they can remain at the closure day site until 5:30pm if required. 
  • Register your child for the closure day by the deadline, drop them off to the closure site assigned to their school, and pick them up at anytime to bring them to their normal after school site anytime from 2:30pm until close.
  • If NOT registering your child for a closure day then you can drop your child off to their normal after school site anytime from 2:30pm to close. 
• All PD day programming will take place at our Salvation Army locations in Mount Pearl or Torbay Road. Review the table below to find out what location you need to sign up for. 
• We contact schools regularly to attain closure dates and then add them to our booking calendar. If you know there is a school closure coming up, but you do not see it in the booking calendar, please reach out. We are not responsible to notify families of upcoming school closures. 
• As a courtesy please email your site if your child is signed up but will not attend. We do NOT charge Late Notice/Transportation Safety Fees during Early Dismissal days.
• Your regular after school program site will be open at regular program time during PD days, if you wish you can drop your child off at that time. 
  • The only exception to this is Roncalli Elementary. We do NOT have access to Roncalli during early dismissals or PD days. The alternate location for Roncalli students during these days is 101 Torbay Road Salvation Army and children can be dropped off at 2:30pm.
